The questions section doesn't add the score.

Question

Here is my code. I can't understand why the tally doesn't work for this section. When I finish the quiz no matter what I do, the correctAnswers section doesn't show the right score even if I answer the questions with the correct string. 
var questions = [
  ['How many states are in the United States?', 50],
  ['How many sides in a triangle?', 3], 
  ['How many in a pair?', 2]
]; 
var correctAnswers = 0; 
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var html; 
function print(message) {
  document.write(message);
}
for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) {
  question = questions[i][0];
  answer = questions[i][1];
  reponse = parseInt(prompt(question));
  if (response === answer) {
    correctAnswers += 1;
  }
}
html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right.";
print(html);

Hi there, @ainorororo (https://teamtreehouse.com/ainorororo) !  It looks like you're doing fantastic from what I can tell. In fact, you are super close here and it boils down to a single character typo.
You typed:
```
reponse = parseInt(prompt(question));
```
But that variable is missing an "s".  You meant to type:
```
response = parseInt(prompt(question));
```
Note the missing "s" between the "e" and "p" of the first one. Because of this, there's a new variable being made named reponse and it contains the answer the user typed in. Then immediately later, you compare the variable response (which is still undefined at this point) to answer. Because undefined will never equal the string the user is putting in, this will always fail and the correct count won't go up.
The solution is to change that reponse to response. 
Hope this helps! :sparkles:
